 NOTE: NO BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY IS GUARANTEED FOR 0.x RELEASES !!
 
+release 0.20.0 (30 December 2002):
+
+ - The release numbering scheme is changed to a three-part version number.
+   Patches will just update the last digit.
+
+ - The library should now be portable, i.e it should work on any POSIX system.
+   On systems lacking glibc, libiconv is needed (see README).
+
+ - A lot of new features (see documentation):
+     - callback interface:
+        - functions to manipulate cross-references (add, delete, link and
+          unlink)
+        - functions to manipulate dates (strings to numbers and vice versa,
+          conversion between calendars, ...)
+        - support for writing Gedcom files
+        - complete concatenated text (e.g. for notes) is now passed in the
+          end callback
+     - C object model interface:
+        - functions for string retrieval and modification
+        - support for writing Gedcom files
+     - development support:
+        - m4 macro that can be used in configure.in
+        - gedcom-config script for linking and compilation flags
+
+ - The library now comes with an extra shared library (libutf8tools),
+   which needs to be linked in in any programs that use the gedcom parser
+   library (you can use the script 'gedcom-config' to generate link and
+   include flags).  You can use utf8tools in totally unrelated programs too.
+
+ - INTERFACE CHANGE: the end record callback function now takes an extra
+   argument (similar to the end element callback): a Gedcom_val, which
+   contains in the case of a REC_NOTE the complete concatenated string.
+
+ - INTERFACE CHANGE: the return value of gedcom_init() has changed from
+   void to int to be able to return a status.
+
+ - Various bugfixes.
